In 2007, the South Broadway Cultural Center in Albuquerque, NM presented “NEW MEXICO DOWN UNDER” exploring the art of six Modernists from Southwestern New Mexico. The exhibit was installed in two galleries, The KiMo Art Space and The South Broadway Cultural Center. Featured artists were:

John Stermer

Robert McCullough

Rueben Gonzalez

Michael Metcalf

Claude Smith

The John Stermer piece, “View from Leopold Vista”, was the centerpiece of the exhibition, loaned from the Albuquerque Museum’s permanent collection and is featured in several photos.
